2012 Map of Montgomery

About this map

The Yazoo River defines the winding character of this Mississippi Delta landscape, where a complex system of oxbows and cut-offs reveals the water's historic shifts. Small settlements like Montgomery, Marksville, and Mayday are linked by a network of plantation roads, including Montgomery Plnt Rd and Baldwin Plantation Rd, reflecting the area's deep agricultural roots. The presence of Lennard Cem and the naming of features such as Dead Man Lake Rd offer tangible points of interest for those researching local family history or the evolution of rural land use. To the south, the dramatic bend of the river creates distinctive features like Horseshoe and Horseshoe Lake, while the Silent Shade Cut-Off indicates engineering efforts to manage the river's flow near the community of Silent Shade.
